The wintery mix was jeopardizing our fun, so we've postponed the 2022 Brookside St. Patrick’s Warm-Up Parade to Saturday, March 19th at 1pm. After two years of canceling the parade, we just couldn't bear the thought of canceling for a 3rd year. The parade is hosted by the Brookside Business Association and Community Improvement District and draws participants and spectators from around the metro. Organizations and businesses from our neighborhoods and across the metro enter the parade each year. Whether marching, dancing, walking or riding vehicles ranging from red wagons and bikes to floats and classic cars, the entrants, music and other festivities are sure to entertain groups and families of all ages. Entries include bands, drill teams, Irish dancers, bagpipers, the mounted patrol, and dogs of all shapes and sizes including Basset Hounds, Great Danes and of course, Irish Setters. It’s a one-of-a-kind event that you don’t want to miss!
